    Description

    Hello, I am selling my Zeiss ikon Maximar 207/7 folding camera. It is a 9x12 camera with a Zeiss Jenna 13.5cm f4.5 lens. Camera comes with original carrying case, film insert/holder, filter, filter adapter, and an old note that has opening instructions dated to 1946.
    Camera is in good appearance and shape considering its age. Zeiss logos are in good shape along with manufacturer badge. Bellows look to be in good condition and has been folded since put in storage. Focusing glass is in one piece and lens glass is somewhat clear with no fungus that I can see. The shutter will not open however the shutter levers and mechanisms all work on the exterior of the camera. Possibly from old oil making the blades stick together. The railing is in good condition and will expand out for focusing. The feet of the lens plate that sits in the railing is slightly bent which hinders movement of the front element to be pushed forward and back without the focusing knob.
    Overall a great looking camera and would be easy to get up and running with a little tlc. If no intentions for restoration, it is a great collectible camera with a beautiful face.
